Mixed Spring Green Salad with Bourbon Vinaigrette

Share this:

If you’re a regular follower of The Taste Place, you know that bourbon is our drink of choice, and that we frequently cook with it as well. While Makers Mark is our sipping label of choice, we don’t usually waste the good stuff for cooking — we go with less expensive, or even store brand (gasp!) bourbon for culinary use.

When perusing the Jim Beam website, I discovered this tasty sounding dressing. At 8 PointsPlus (if you’re a Weight Watcher like me) per serving, the dressing and toppings are too high in fat and calories for me to make it on a regular basis — particularly since it doesn’t meet Hubby’s criteria for a main dish salad (there’s no meat). So, I bookmarked it for a special occasion. And an elegant Easter-themed dinner party that we hosted for friends provided the perfect excuse to finally try this dish. It was a hit.
